Chapter 139 The Battle Between Buddhism and Taoism

Li Shimin didn't say a word about the Turkic people today. He clearly had dark circles under his eyes that looked like iron-eating beasts in the mountains, but the excitement on Li Shimin's face was beyond words.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, how should the Turkic army of [-] people deal with it? There needs to be a result today."

Cui Minqian stood up again, once he stood up, Li Shimin knew that this guy was uneasy and well-intentioned.

"What Turks? Where are Turks?"

Li Shimin began to pretend to be confused, "Is it a Turkic businessman?"

Cui Mingan frowned, no, something is wrong with Li Shimin
Could it be that you were confused by the Turkic people?

"Your Majesty, three days ago, the Turkic army of 10 troops overwhelmed the border and reached the banks of the Weishui River. The Great Tang Dynasty is in danger. Your Majesty, please send troops!"

After Cui Mingan's words fell, Qi Shushua, the civil servant behind him, also stood up, "Your Majesty, please send troops!"

Li Shimin was startled, and looked at the officials with a smile, "What are you talking about? What Turkic army?"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are also confused at this time, what's the matter, Your Majesty, they discussed how to deal with it last night, but today they forgot?
Can't be so forgetful?

Du Ruhui cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the Turks are in Weishui, outside Jingyang City."

Clever, as expected of Du Ruhui, at this moment he knew to give him a step up, and Li Shimin was very satisfied.

"Oh, Du Xiang reminded me so much, I remembered it."

Cui Min's molars were all crushed after he died, and Li Shimin's old double standard, so he should be treated differently, right?
On the other hand, on Li Shimin's side, we had no confidence in the past, but now that the Turkic people are gone, why mention that?
"Du Xiang, you said those Turkic people, they are not outsiders, they are just people doing business in the Tang Dynasty, I sent people to invite them away last night."

Du Ruhui's chest rose and fell, no, Your Majesty, what are you doing.

Cui Mingan quit, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, you must not talk nonsense. The Turkic people are extremely vicious, and the people who come are not good. The people of the Tang Dynasty are in danger. We are willing to follow Your Majesty to defeat the enemy together."

The meaning is very clear, you are the emperor, you have to stand up.

Li Shimin smiled and looked at the ministers: "Don't panic, everyone. Last night, I sent people to drive those Turkic people away. Of course, there are not 10 of them, but there are only a few dozen people."

"Such a trivial matter, still need to be discussed in the court?"

If there are really dozens of Turkic people, as long as they are not doing anything wrong and violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it is really not worth mentioning above the court. After all, there are many merchants from the Western Regions in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, wouldn't it mean that you don't have to do anything else every day?

Li Shimin didn't want anyone to know what happened last night. It was related to his son and his trump card.

After the court was over, Li Shimin rushed towards Yong'an Garden impatiently.

In Chang'an City, Jingyang City, all the people are discussing a topic.

"Did you hear the movement last night?"

"No, I slept with my wife early yesterday, what happened?"

"Hey, it's a pity. You know what happened last night, and you will definitely think that your wife is not good."

A few scholars sat at the same table, and the teacher's workshop was a place with a lot of people. Their voices were not low, but they were heard by many people.

"Brother, you just said what happened last night. Could there be some gossip?"

Scholars passing by also joined in.

So, soon there was a legend circulating in Chang'an city. The Turkic army came to Chang'an last night and tried to attack. As a result, thunder and punishment fell from the sky, and the entire western sky was as bright as day. The gods were angry, and the Turkic people disappeared overnight. .

Some people say that the monsters in the mountains directly swallowed 10 people, and some people say that the gods directly drove them back to the Turkic grassland.

The men of the Tang Dynasty were not lacking in blood, and some people jumped out and started making up stories about His Majesty the Tang Dynasty begging the gods and worshiping the Buddha, so the gods were dispatched and threw the Turkic people into the Weihe River.

Li Ke and Li Shimin had no idea what kind of impact what happened last night would have on the whole world.

At this time in the Da Ci'en Temple, the eminent Buddhist monks faced the Buddha statue with calm eyes, and they had already planned a thousand things in their hearts.

"Xuanzang, today you go outside to preach, and say that last night it was my Buddha's eight dragons who showed their power and protected the people of the Tang Dynasty."

The young monk raised his head, with obvious disdain in his eyes.

He looked at his master and put his hands together: "Master, you can't do this."

The old monk shook his head and sighed: "Xuanzang, you don't understand."

"We who are monks are also human beings."

"You think it's easy for me to become an eminent monk? The abbot of Daci'en Temple is just a false name. Every day when I open my eyes, hundreds of people rely on me for eating, drinking and sacrificing. They all say that Buddhism is pure, but my heart is not pure."

Xuanzang was silent. People in the Buddhist sect, although they meditate, eat fast and chant the Buddha, but without incense and money, how can they live?
Monks are human beings, and they have to live.

"Master, why do you have to connect it with what happened last night?"

Xuanzang didn't understand, does Buddhism have to pretend to be a ghost?
The abbot was not in a hurry, he just lit the joss stick, and then took Xuanzang's hand with a smile: "Xuanzang, now the Tang Dynasty is a peaceful day, and this is the opportunity for my Buddhist school to show its strength."

"We, Zhongtu, have always been the territory of Taoism. They are high and powerful, so why don't we believers be allowed to spread all over the world?"

Xuanzang twitched his face twice. He used to think that among the Buddhist schools, the abbot was the person with the highest practice. Today, he discovered that he is not only very good at Buddhist practice, but also a master of worldly practice.

When I entered the temple, I just wanted to be quiet. Now, I find that the common things are still so attractive. The abbot is not like the abbot, and the monk is not a monk.

This temple has changed.

In Baiyun Temple, under the big tree is a good place to enjoy the shade. Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back, "Last night, a vision appeared in the sky. This matter is extremely important."

"You two prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace."

Xiao Daotong on the side opened his eyes wide: "Master, don't, what's so good about entering the palace, it's so relaxing in the palace."

Yuan Tiangang sighed, "I want to enter the palace to face the saint, not to become a eunuch in the palace."

The two little Taoist boys lowered their heads, "Master, then let's prepare the horses."

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard. If you said he didn’t know about last night’s movement, that’s a lie. In the morning, Buddhism has already started to release news, saying that they made the movement last night. Can this thing be true?
These bald donkeys have no truth in their mouths.

Obviously, the movement last night was the Taoist Da Luo Jinxian's move!

Li Shimin and Li Ke didn't expect that they were just retreating from the enemy, and the battle between Buddhism and Taoism began somehow.

The sunshine was more comfortable than the bleakness of last night. Sitting in the sunshine, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with excitement all over his face.
